RE: yamaha 01/01V
I got a secondhand Promix10, like for no money.
Best buy in years, the effects are nice, i don't like long reverb, for me they have to be very short, something like a small wooden box. And the promix01 can de that, the chorus is OK, never use it actually, the pitchshifter works great for adding body to the whole mix.
You can route 2 compressors to the send 3 or 4 , or just 1 when you want it in stereo. The send1&2 are fixed stereo. The reverb section also has a lowpass cutoff and a highpass cutoff. Very nice. Don't want no bloody reverb on my basskick! EQ-ing is available on each input/output, also on the effects & compressors input&ouput. It's a very versatile machine, with lots of overhead, I drive it constantly up to 20db or so, doesn't distort anything. EQ-ing has 9 parameters which is more then enough, all midi routable, thus a notch going up & down to make your hihats dance a little more is an option you have on each track. Panning has a bug tho, when doing panning from midi it clicks. That sucks but hey, thaz life.
Lots of space to save virtually any setup including effects parameters and such. It used to be a pretty pro machine, it's defeated ofcourse by it's new brothers but it still is a very high end mixingtable.
I wouldn't be without mine, I did an upgrade from a noisy analoque behringer 8 track mixboard to this.
I'm in love
